I have recently upgraded to gigafast from 500mbps. Will I receive a gigafast hub or will I keep my current one?

@AnthonyMc Tricky question that, what do you have currently, what sky hub see link below and say which is yours by name?

I have sky broadband hub. I called and asked the question and was told I'd need the 5gb internet to warrant the newest cylinder type hub.

I could get the white version of my current hub which is the max WiFi for an extra cost if I wanted that.

@AnthonyMc The Black sky Broadband Hub is good to go on the FF900 service, Ethernet will go vitually full speed, wireless wifi just not as fast and about 700Mb/s it will start to slow down and out, the white sky Max as a wifi 6 device is good through the whole range with both but it has some things you need to look and decide for/against those are linked below to read.....

As for the wifi 7 cylinder version if on CF CityFibre 2.5/5Gb/s service you get the whole shooting match for free all the bells/whistles but you have to be IN and ON a CF CityFibre Network connection.... Some say they have managed to get one from sky for £X cash at order do not know at all that fact! All the Max info below extra charge is £10 per month and get some discount if you can, guarantee's are ALL stopped 1st April no money back and suckit to see what happens!
